This is actually a bit more than mere semantics, at least in political terms.<\/p>\n

Resignation means that you can\u2019t possibly win a reelection but your party can so you either retire or more accurately are pushed out by the real power brokers. This is the case with Senator Dodd. His long history if scum-baggery having finally caught up with him, he realized that he was totally unelectable. That being said, the state Attorney General is a very popular Democrat and Connecticut loves to impose is liberal white guilt on the rest of us so Dodd is in the \u201cResign\u201d column.<\/p>\n

Capitulation is different in that the candidate is so far up shit creek that no other candidate of the same party can possibly save the seat. This is the case in North Dakota where Dorgan and his famed comb-over has destroyed any possibility of a Democrat saving that seat. Of course a popular Republican governor who is sitting on 4% unemployment in a big recession isn\u2019t going to lure any viable Democrats into this futility.<\/p>\n

The latest rumor is that Arkansas Senator Blanche Lincoln is getting ready to pop smoke <\/a>as well.<\/p>\n

Speculation on the conservative side is that Democratic Senator Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas may join Democratic senators Byron Dorgan and Christopher Dodd in retiring instead of seeking re-election this year.<\/p>\n

A Rasmussen Poll released today showed every single Republican candidate \u2014 well, the 4 polled \u2014 ahead by 8 to 12 points as she is unable to crack 40% support.<\/p>\n

Blame Obamaccare.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust 35% of Arkansas voters favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. Sixty percent (60%) are opposed. Those figures include 17% who Strongly Favor the plan and 51% who are Strongly Opposed. Bleak as those numbers are for advocates of the legislation, they are actually a few points better than the numbers from a month ago,\u201d Rasmussen reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is surely causing some headaches for the Democrat leadership but it\u2019s not a panic yet.<\/p>\n

Want to see a real panic? Watch what happens if, on the very slim chance, Scott Brown pulls out the upset over Martha Coakley in Massachusetts. <\/p>\n

This is not very likely as Democrats outnumber Republicans in the Kennedy state by two to one but if it does happen one thing is certain\u2026<\/p>\n

Healthcare Reform is dead and the full speed ahead leftist train we\u2019re on now will be slowed down considerably. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
